Ukrainian Official Says Kyiv Doesn't Have the Resources for a Counteroffensive - News From Antiwar.com
A senior Ukrainian government official told The Washington Post that Kyiv doesn’t have the resources to pull off a big counteroffensive in the coming months as Ukraine is lacking skilled troops, munitions, and other equipment. “If you have more resources, ...
“I get 100 new soldiers,” Kupol said. “They don’t give me any time to prepare them. They say, ‘Take them into the battle.’ They just drop everything and run. That’s it.”
“Do you understand why? Because the soldier doesn’t shoot. I ask him why, and he says, ‘I’m afraid of the sound of the shot,’”
This reminds me of the movie line:

LOL!
Much as people hate China here (It is the CCP one should be directing the hatred at - it is the deep state there) Xi is flying to see Putin, and then, Zelenski this week. He just brokered a peace deal between Saudi Arabia and Iran (who had been daggers drawn thanks to US 'intelligence') and it is my belief Xi is going to broker a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine, while excluding the West.
My belief is that Trump is behind all this. Remember Xi and Trump are on friendly terms, as are Trump and Putin. This fact alone should wake people up. Of course he has been blasting Chy-na, but the story is far more complicated than that.
Before, there was a theory that a peace deal needs to be brokered between NATO and Russia, but it seems that the Russians want nothing to do with the West anymore. Who would trust those lying bastards? They set him up with the Minsk agreements, so that Ukraine could continue building fortifications and bombing Russian speaking civilians, while the West turned a blind eye.
Let's hope for a positive outcome.
Bit of a convoluted theory, but I'm willing to wait and see.
well DUH!
Wait..I thought Ukraine was winning. That’s what some non educated people on twit’er say?
The Ukrainians need to hold on just long enough for Trump to broker the peace agreement.
I reckon the Russians are in no hurry to finish taking Bakhmut while they are getting such a good casualty ratios. They really just want the Ukrainians to sent all their men to Bakhmut.
I was hoping the Ukrainians would revolt and turn on Zelensky. Wouldn't that be something.
I guess the secret police are being paid too well at the moment. They are probably preventing revolts.
There's a technical term for this... its called "LOSING."
